8 Health and economic growth in the 20th century Cross-country growth regressions (post-1940 period) 1 Bloom, Canning, and Sevilla (2004); Acemoglu and Johnson (2007); Cervellati and Sunde (2001) 2 Most studies find a positive effect of health on economic growth Long-term analyses 1 Fogel (1994); Arora (2001); Floud et al. (2011) 2 Positive correlation between health and economic growth. Health improvements increased the pace of growth around 30 percent Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 7 / 44

9 Health and economic growth in the 20th century Cross-country growth regressions (post-1940 period) 1 Bloom, Canning, and Sevilla (2004); Acemoglu and Johnson (2007); Cervellati and Sunde (2001) 2 Positive effect of health on economic growth 3 Estimates may be biased if IV approaches do not fully tackle endogeneity concerns (Weil, 2007) 4 Focus on post-1950 period Long-term analyses 1 Fogel (1994); Arora (2001), Floud et al. (2011) 2 Health improvements increased the pace of growth around 30 percent 3 Small sample of developed countries Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 8 / 44

10 Contribution to the literature This study uses a level accounting framework that includes health (Weil, 2007) Contribution to the literature: Cross-country regression studies 1 Provide unbiased country-level estimates of the importance of health for income levels 2 Consider longer time span to fully cover the health transition Economic history studies 1 Consider many more countries (especially less-developed ones) 2 Focus on GDP levels during the 20th century Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 9 / 44

11 Contribution to the literature Level and growth accounting literature 1 I created a new dataset of physical capital stocks for 40 countries 2 Test the framework proposed in Weil (2007) with new data, further benchmarks and alternative measures of health 3 Examine the role of proximate determinants of income in the past (Hall and Jones, 1999; Caselli, 2005; Hsieh and Klenow, 2010) Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 10 / 44

13 Health in the production function Y i = A i K α i (H i ) 1 α (1) where A is productivity, K is capital per worker, H is human capital and α is the elasticity of output with respect to capital. H i = h i v i L i (2) where L is the number of workers, h is human capital in the form of education and v is human capital in the form of health. Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 12 / 44

14 Success measure based on Caselli (2005) Consider that y kh = k α h 1 α and y khv = k α h 1 α v 1 α : Success Caselli excl.health = var[log(y kh)] var[log(y)] Success Caselli incl.health = var[log(y khv)] var[log(y)] (3) (4) Success Caselli based = Success Caselli incl.health Success Caselli excl.health (5) Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 13 / 44

17 A new dataset of historical physical capital Methodology: perpetual inventory method to convert investment flows into stocks for structures and machinery and equipment I take into account changes in the relative price of structures and machinery over time Sources are the work of economic historians, statistical offices and historical national accounts from every analysed country The information is put together, corrected by extraordinary events (e.g. wars) and constructed in a homogeneous way Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 16 / 44

28 Conclusions Analysis of the explanatory power of health in accounting for cross-country income inequality since 1900 Main findings 1 The role of health accounting for income differences across countries increases during the period due to the unequal onset of the health transition 2 Between 1955 and 1990, the fraction of income variance attributable to health decreases due to significant progress in developing economies 3 After 1990, cross-country health differences do not decline and the explanatory power of health in accounting for income variance stays constant Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 27 / 44

37 Health and productivity (II) Consider two workers (1 and 2) with the same human capital in terms of education but different levels of health. Then, the difference in wages is defined by: ln(w 2 ) ln(w 1 ) = γ v (z 2 z 1 ) (11) I 2 I 1 = γ I (z 2 z 1 ) (12) ln(w 2 ) ln(w 1 ) = γ v γ I (I 2 I 1 ) (13) Daniel Gallardo Albarrán Health and Development GGDC 25th Anniversary 36 / 44
